Happy 1st Birthday Mary Jade Ostler!Mary Jade has come so far in just one year, and we don't know where the year went! She went from lying on her back and cooing to taking steps and cruising around the furniture, constantly jabbering and saying her own words, copying everything we do, and picking up new things very quickly. She rolled over, and we could handle that, but then she started crawling, and we thought "How cute! She's so good, but we can still control her!" Now though, she is on the loose and she is a wild and fun girl that we have to watch like crazy, not like she was when she was an infant. She can also make the sound an Elephant makes, wave goodbye, patty cake, dance to music, play peekaboo, and pretty much anything else she wants to do that she watches us do. Her first word was "Cat", although she first called it a "tee-tah", and now we're starting to hear her say things that sound like phrases. She is amazing! Anyway, we could go on and on about her but this post is meant to show you just a teeny tiny bit of her accomplishments and personality in her first year. Wishing a very happy birthday to our miracle daughter, Mary Jade Ostler!
Love,
Andrew and Sara (Daddy and Mommy)
